This is the largest recorded vertical block of the One-peseta. Only four blocks are known, all in this collection.

THIS IS THE LARGEST OF THE FOUR RECORDED BLOCKS OF THE 1858 ONE-PESETA AND THE SECOND LARGEST MULTIPLE OF THE ENTIRE 1858 ISSUE. ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR COVERS IN PERUVIAN AND SOUTH AMERICAN PHILATELY.

The block of ten offered in lot 242 was originally used on this cover. It has been removed, and the cover has been refolded at left to reduce the size to the width of an exhibit page. The block of ten could be replaced on the cover if so desired.

VERY FINE FOR SUCH A LARGE MULTIPLE AND EXTREMELY RARE FRANKING. THIS IS THE LARGEST STRIP OF THE 1858 ONE-PESETA, SHOWING ALMOST TWO FULL REPETITIONS OF THE TOP ROW OF THE BLOC REPORT. HORIZONTAL STRIPS OF THE ONE-PESETA ARE MUCH SCARCER THAN VERTICAL STRIPS.

The greater rarity of horizontal strips suggests that the One-peseta was cut into vertical strips before sale.
